Monster Hunter World Is A Great Starting Place For Newcomers

Monster Hunter has always been an intimidating series to jump into for a variety of reasons. It’s challenging for anyone, and traditionally it hasn’t done a great job of explaining its various mechanics, leaving players to seek outside help. Monster Hunter World at least partially tries to address those problems, and in many ways, it succeeds.

In addition to providing more explanation to players in the early stages, players have what’s called a Handler, who dispenses tips until you’ve made enough progress. There are also quality-of-life improvements like scoutflies that reduce the hassle of tracking a monster–something that’s particularly helpful given World’s larger environments.

In the video above, we chat about what it’s been like to play World from both the standpoint of a series veteran and someone with less Monster Hunter experience. It should give you a sense of what to expect from World regardless of your experience level.
